Leisure: No Ice Wine this year
Warm weather means no sweet vines

The warm winter weather means there will be no ice wine harvest this year.
Picked when frozen, the iced grapes produce a highly coveted desert wine but the ambient temperature must be -7°C or lower, and is usually picked in the dead of night.
With there being no prospect of this happening, most wine growers have already harvested the high quality Rieslings which most suit this production.
